Did anyone notice that it looks like BMW is phasing out Blue Water and replacing it with Liquid Blue. I believe the X3 is the only vehicle that still has this color available. With that said, I am looking to purchase an X3 and not sure if I should wait for the 2015 LCI. However, I am not sure if I should just get a 2014 X3 because BMW may or may not offer Blue Water next year ??? What are your thoughts ? Lastly if I remember correctly, BMW stopped offering Bluewater on the first generation X3 at the LCI (2007) ?

If you're not picky about options you could wait until the model comes out then you'll know what the color options are. If the color you want is discontinued you could purchase a leftover one of the previous year.

I've had a Blue Water 5 series and now X3 I can't understand why they would discontinue the color. You might contact BMW USA directly and see what they have to say and since 2015 isn't in production yet maybe you could influence them by advocating for the color.
